Celebrate National Day in a truly Singaporean way: by eating! There’s nothing that brings the country together like our unique food, so loosen your belt and showcase your Singaporean appetite with these meals that capture what we love most about Singapore.
1. Urbana Rooftop Bar
Have a bit of fun this National Day and treat yourself to some tipples and bar bites at Urbana Rooftop Bar. Boasting fine wines, signature cocktails, and a beautiful view that stretches all the way to Marina Bay, it’s a great place for a patriotic party. Your favourite hawker center supper of satay and Milo gets a boozy, classy upgrade here too!
The signature Pork and Pineapple Satay is everything we look for in a satay and more. Chunks of tender, juicy pork melt satisfyingly away from the stick, carrying hints of smoky char, while the pineapple provides bursts of sweetness. It also goes perfectly with the Chocoloco, a smooth, creamy, chocolatey cocktail. Made with Baileys, chocolate syrup, and vodka then topped with Milo powder, it’s inspired by none other than our childhood favourite Milo Dinosaur.

2. Sky22

Well, maybe satay and cocktails aren’t quite enough for a properly filling dinner. In that case, you can always count on Sky22, with its menu of Singaporean foods made indulgent with premium ingredients, for a hearty meal of local favourites. It’s in the same building as Urbana Rooftop Bar too, so you can always head upstairs for post-dinner drinks and a spot of supper!
Make sure you’re prepared for some heat, because both their signature items pack quite a punch! Slurp up a generous bowl of Tiger Prawn Laksa Lemak, topped with quail eggs, fishcakes, and huge, sweet tiger prawns. The coconut gravy is a masterpiece, balancing the spiciness with its creamy texture and fragrance. And of course, the Chilli Crab Pizza, with generous chunks of crab and lots of chilli, is far too tempting to resist.

6. Bella Pizza
Here’s your chance to show how much you love Singapore by eating our flag! Well, it’s not really our flag – just a half-and-half pizza that looks like the flag. Bella Pizza, a lively pizzeria on the shores of the Singapore River, is just what you need to dye your dinner a patriotic red and white.
The red half is a tangy, punchy tomato base pizza, with salami, fresh tomatoes, and ricotta on top. In contrast, the white half is creamier and more subtle, featuring a cheese sauce with egg, mascarpone, and black truffle.
